Features (shows/reveals) :- does not affect anything but colours (preserves layout)- disables background images -- this is intended feature, not a bug. Many designs cannot stand this, but it is not flaw of this userstyle but a flaw of concrete designs. No information should be represented _only_ as a background-image.- some basic semantics (headings, navigation, emphasizes, etc.)- visited / unvisited links- some IMO neat form styling effects.

To use this style, install Firefox and Stylish. If you already have Stylish, make sure this site is allowed to run JavaScript.

Notes

Unfinished, still kinda attempt. See source.

Changelog:2007-09-04: + "current / active / selected" item emphasized; + brighter border for focused inputs (and links)2007-09-17: - revert: solid background for TDs (was not a good idea); ~ source cleanup2007-09-24: ~ screen shots up-to-date;2008-08-18: + form elements fix for FF3 ("-moz-appearance : none"), thanks rounded form styles for hint2008-10-11: - disabled (commented) "text-decoration: none" for links, to comply above description.2010-01-07: few minor fixes: ~ "body" has no longer solid background: in many layouts it fits just the initial viewport so the actual overlapping content is technically just above the root "html" element; ~ disabling text-shadow (Sadly, it is really necessary)2010-01-23: ~ even more dynamics for forms elements, disabling backgrounds for generated (:before,:after) content (also necessary)2010-02-15: quite radical experiment:- Enabled background-images for :empty elements (to have all those "sprite buttons" back. I Had been thinking about this but was sceptical and still I am not sure if it is worth it, because it brings back far more things than "useful" buttons (be prepared for lots of rounded corners), but after few weeks of experiments I've seen no serious problem with it (if you encounter some, you can turn this off; see source).- Added option for disabling text-indent to show texts of most of those image-replaced headings. Since it seems that "text-indent" isn't used for nothing but this purpose nowadays, it is probably quite safe to turn this on.- All thanks goes to NightShift - eye care for encouraging me to finally try these.2011-05-03: just desc update2011-11-08: progressmeters (some), view-source "page", readable dark graphic text with transparency on hover2012-04-13: few more "transparent flyout" fixes2012-07-12: reintroduced -moz-appearance: none for form elements. Strange.2012-08-29: few more "transparent flyout" fixes (for gmail mostly) ([role]), selected autocomplete items 2012-12-03: some fixes regarding clashes of tag overlays (should be transparent) with progressmeters (should be contrasting)2013-01-10: (description) linked new Webkit (Chrome) filter-based styles2013-09-18: (cosmetic; removed 'window' selector just to get back into 'global' category on userstyles; see issue 64. This should repair few other bugs, but we will probably get bright flashes between page loads (sorry). Another 'app' style will be necessary then :|)

Notes / Known bugs:- many sites relies on bacgkround images. As said, not a bug of this style.- "popups", flyouts, dropdowns, rollovers … there are many cases, when absolutelly positioned element does not get any solid background and remains transparent and so unreadable; I am working on it, but there cannot exist any bulletproof solution for this. If only there was any class convention for this … (Setting solid background colour for nearly everythig would spoil more than it would solve.)- "lightboxoids", big navigational links floating above content - the opposite problem as above; there are situations, where I set solid background to elements that were intended to remain transparent (eg. "next/prev") areas of lightboxoid popups.- Some galleries or "fancy dynamic slideshows" uses background-image instead of real image. I think this monstrosity does not even deserve to be fixed.- Selects: missing arrows (gonna mess with the "initial" value or tweak whole style, stay tuned)
